a good low price cigar???

How many cigars you think you'll need? 25, 50, 100?

Some don't like the short filler Arturo Fuente Curly Head, but I think it is a pretty good cigar for the price. A little too mild for me but it has a nice tobacco taste. Box of 40 for $64

I also like the Fuente petit coronas, they are more expensive, but also considered more of the premium line in Fuente. Box of 25 for $69

You may also want to consider the maduro Famous exclusives here: http://www.famous-smoke.com/cigars/s....cfm/st/search Don't bother with the naturals, they are really bland and not worth smoking in my opinion.

Me personally I wouldn't want to be passing out cigars I wouldn't smoke myself, and I have a boxes of the Fuente petit corona and Famous madurito in the coolidor now.

Agreed. Guess who's gonna be smoking the leftovers.

UpStateMike gave some great suggestions. My pick of his list would be the Flor de Olivas.

you can get a box of sancho panza double maduros off famoussmoke for 35 bucks, its a great smoke IMO, it was one of my first cigars so i know its good for a noob.

I second the Sancho Panza's. Very good. I have one on deck to smoke for my long drive after work. I smoked 2 in one day last week. I enjoy the Quixote size.

I also second the Famous Buenos Maduros. At .75 a piece, it's a surprisingly good smoke. I believe it's like $29.99 for 40 sticks.

Lots of good suggestions up there ^. I'm not to sure on the JR's. I've tried a couple and hated them. But I've heard there are some good ones, and I've heard the Ults are alot better.

Consuerga (Connie) #9... good small smoke and the price is right... I would get the Conn wrapper because guys who don't normally smoke might not enjoy a Maduro. I just picked up another bundle for myself from JR... Bundle of 25 for $26...

If you never had one.... let me know and I can send a couple to try

JM dominicans from rocky's...a nice,mild smoke at a very good price.....or call hex and he'll order them for you.....

....many of the cigars being suggested will be too strong for rookies...

i second that hefty.... very good smoke for a great price, i'd consider this one of my "go to" smoke

**aceswired** · 02-08-2007, 12:55 PM

Lots of good suggestions here. I'd recommend getting at least two different kinds - one mild and one more medium. You want something pretty mild for your non-smoking friends and family, but something with a bit more body for those who want it. Connies would serve the second role well, but depending on the blend might be too strong for some of the total newbs.

**jsc4324** · 02-09-2007, 12:08 AM

thanks for all the suggestions, I really appreciate it. I will have to try some of the stuff listed. Even better is this gives me an excuse to buy more cigars. I wouldnt want to dissapoint any guests....

I plan on having two different types, for reasons already listed above. I am thinking that I may even purchase a box of something I really like for myself and those that are cigar smokers. Again thanks to all, I will start searching for some of the cigars listed and sample away.....

No one has mentioned Gran Habano's. They're a great inexpensive cigar and people who don't know any better would probably think they're from Cuba because of Habano in the name, but nope, 100% domestic.

**Sporadic Metonomy** · 02-09-2007, 03:37 PM

ohhh...yeah, the Gran Habano's are tasty. Those little corojo #5's are tough to beat. I second the Cuban Crafters brown mini-figurados too. I like the St. Luis Rey maduro rothchildes for an inexpensive tasty smoke as well.
